Fall Festivities

Wow! I'm not sure we could have crammed one more thing into our schedule over the past week. We have been busy enjoying the beautiful weather and trying to fit in every possible fall/Halloween activity there is. This is one of my favorite times of the year but I'll be ready for Nov. 1 to come to take a quick break:) Here it what we've been up to--

On Thurs, I went with Tate's class on a field trip to Love Creek Orchard in Medina, TX. They built scarecrows, took a hay ride, listened to some storytelling, brushed a horse, held some chickens and found their way through a hay bale maze. They even got to take home a pumpkin.

Saturday morning was our last soccer game. It was exciting to see how much the kids improved from game 1. What a cute soccer team!

We, then, headed to the kid's school for their annual fall festival. We enjoyed face painting, pony rides and games. Tate even got to dunk one of his teachers in the dunking booth!

On Saturday night, Jason and I got to enjoy some adult company at one of our neighbors Halloween bash. The costumes were hilarious and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Sarah Palin even showed up for the event:)

And on to Sun-whoooooo. We went to our friend, Colby's golf tournament for a few hours and enjoyed watching the golfers, ate great food and chatted with friends. He does an unbelievable job! We had our annual Halloween parade in our neighborhood after that. A fire truck leads the way which Tate loves! Little miss thing couldn't wait for the cookies at the end and snacked the whole way through. Fairys love their food, I guess.

Finally, after the parade, we had our family pictures taken. Maren was beyond done by this point. We, hopefully, got some good ones toward the end when she finally stopped crying. One of our babysitter's roommates took their pictures and, poor thing, she had her work cut out for her. She has a few pictures on her blog. http://laurahaleyphotography.blogspot.com/

And this is how we all felt Sun night after ordering some pizza and settling down:)
